2013 Draft-Notes - Dominic Tiberi, Walter Wijas, Mark Appel, Corey Simpson, Cape Cod Results



Dominic Tiberi, OF, Dublin Coffman HS, Class of 2013 - 6-foot, 189-pound outfield prospect. Registered a 6.87 60-yard dash. From the outfield, the lefty uses long arm action through a high ¾ arm slot. Reaches a top velocity of 79 mph. Shows athletic actions in the field. At the plate, he hits from the right side. Uses a slightly open stance with a short stride. Uses a short, compact swing. Can be a little stiff at times, but generates solid contact with pull power. PBR

Walter Wijas, RHP, Hyannis Harbor Hawks (Kansas) - Reliever mechanics with effort. Long in back arm action and hitters get a good look at the ball early. Primary FB is a 2 seam with strong run and sink. 86-89. Shallow, power cut SL 77 that he showed some confidence in. CU had good drop 84. Kept the ball down well. BB

Player:  Mark Appel -  Position:  RHP   School:  Stanford   Date of Birth:  /15/1991  Height/Weight:  6’5/210  Bats/Throws:  R/R  2013 Class:  Senior  Drafted:  2012, 1st Rd, Pirates  Drafted:  2009, 15th Rd, Tigers Scouting Report: For the report, go to: BLF

Corey Simpson  a 6-foot-3, 220-pound righthanded slugger, stole the show at Blair Field in the first day of one of the premier events on the summer amateur circuit. In four trips to the plate, he went 2-for-3 with four RBIs, leading the Rangers (representing Texas and Louisiana) to a come-from-behind 5-4 win against the Reds (the Four Corners and Hawaii).A first baseman/catcher committed to Houston, Simpson lined a sacrifice fly to center field in the first inning, then drove a fastball into the right-center gap for an RBI double in the third. But he saved his best for last, crushing a towering two-run homer to dead-center on an 89 mph fastball from Ryan Castellani in the eighth. Even college players swinging metal bats seldom hit home runs in spacious Blair Field—to any part of the park—so Simpson's majestic shot to center field with wood drew plenty of oohs and ahhs. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/2012/08/area-code-games-notebook-day-one/  

Kendall Rogers‏ - TAMU commit  Kohl Stewart 92-93 early, 86-87 slider, 85 Chg. Everything hard…

David Rawnsley‏ - RHP Derek Beauprex  - 90-92 in 1st IP, 75 CB, HBP/BB to start but settled down nicely… Sweeny (TX) C/1B Corey Simpson very impressive, 2B to RCF, plus bat speed, very athletic for 6-3/220… reason why I don't like stats for low-level prospects is because how good of a season they are having is irrelevant. Scouts could care less if a player is hitting .350 at Low-A. Scouting is about projecting, not evaluating the current product… Hawaii OF Marcus Doi turns around 91 mph … RHP Casey Shane FB to LF, 101 mph off the bat. Very good hitting prospect… Marcus Doi continues to rake, 3B to RCF, 102 off the bat, serious bat speed.

Aaron Fitt‏ -  SS Eric Garza, a TCU recruit, has made strong 1st impression with speed, athleticism, base running, defense. Brilliant diving play up middle

Todd Gold‏ -  Impressive showing from 2013 RHP Kohl Stewart (Houston, TX). 3 shutout innings, allowed just 1 hit. FB up to 94, nasty SL, promising CH  

In perhaps the most exciting game of the season, featuring 5 lead changes, a homerun record and a dramatic 9th inning blast, the Wareham Gatemen outlasted the Falmouth Commodores; winning 9-8 in the final regular season matchup between the two Western Division rivals  - for all the results - http://www.gatemen.org/
